Obwegeser Ramus Retractor 24cm – Optic-Shift Sigmoid Guard & Secure-Hold Mandibular Plate Shield

Solid-Phase Obwegeser Ramus Retractor (24cm) for Extended Mandibular Visibility

The Obwegeser Ramus Retractor is a premier instrument in the orthognathic toolkit, specifically engineered for the precise displacement of soft tissue along the posterior aspect of the mandible. Functioning as a high-performance sigmoid guard, this 24cm model features a specialized hook-shaped blade that “wraps” around the ramus border, providing a stable, deep-field window for the surgeon. Adas Instruments ensures that each mandibular plate shield is balanced for high-accuracy maneuvers, allowing the surgical assistant to maintain powerful retraction with minimal hand fatigue even in deep posterior sites. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that surgeons trust for their anatomical accuracy and structural resilience.

Why Maxillofacial Surgeons Choose Our 24cm Ramus Retractor

• Optic-Shift Geometry: Features a specialized wide-radius curve to act as a versatile sigmoid guard, protecting the parotid gland and neurovascular structures during osteotomy bone cuts.
• Secure-Hold Stability: Specifically designed with an extra-long, ergonomic handle to function as a reliable mandibular plate shield, keeping the assistant’s hands at a maximum distance from the primary surgical zone.
• Anatomical Contouring: The distal tip is meticulously shaped to sit snugly against the sigmoid notch or posterior ramus, preventing accidental instrument displacement during high-torque maneuvers.
• Steady-Stance Resilience: Forged from high-tempered surgical stainless steel, engineered to withstand significant leverage during difficult ramus exposures and bone repositioning.

Primary Surgical Applications

• Retracting the posterior border of the ramus during Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO).
• utilizing the sigmoid guard function for clear visualization during vertical ramus osteotomies.
• Performing efficient mandibular plate shield maneuvers during condylar neck fracture fixation.
• Maintaining a clear operative field during deep submandibular approaches to the mandibular ramus.
